The aim of this essay is to research if the typical gender norms about gender that today’s society rests on, are visible in teaching materials within the social study subjects. In this essay the chosen parts of a selected teaching materials will be researched and compared withformer research and the curriculum (skolverket 2011). The research of the teaching material will be done through a qualitative text and picture analysis. The chosen teaching material which in this essay will be analysed is: Puls SO-boken year 1-3 (2015). The research is supposed to add knowledge about how the messages within the pictures and the text in the chosen teaching material can be interpreted and understood by pupils and pedagogues. The research is also supposed to elucidate how important it is for the pedagogue to critically review the teaching material that is being used in their teaching to create the best prerequisite for their pupils. Good teaching and learning and the ability to find their unique individuality is also a prerequisite to become the good democratic citizen school will form under the curriculum that is available. The result of the research shows that the book Puls SO-boken (2015), to a certain degree breaks down stereotype gender norms like the ones that currently exists in today’s society. It also shows a certain tendency where males still are the gender norm of the teaching materials.
